This used to be an active forum. Were there no games played in the last 2 weeks?

PD baseball has died down, this year being the first year without a real "standout". Not saying that there is nothing to talk about with these other players, just no big arms or bats anymore. sure you have a Josh Moore of Menchville.... But is that really the same as a Shawn Sizemore of old? Baseball in the PD has just declined IMO

Losing the five big arms is obviously going to calm things down a bit on the message board. I believe as the season progresses and it's a little more clear how these teams stack up with the new bats, there should be plenty to talk about.

I know some parents and fans of KHS have vowed to keep it clean and positive on HRVarsity this season. We are proud of our Warriors on and off the field.

I think everyone would agree that there has been considerably less controversy so far this year! Last year's issues/percieved injustices seemed to fuel lots of opinions and postings.

My sentiments exactly. Talking with friends and other followers of the PD, we all agree that there's not a lot of hype about PD baseball this year. There was not a lot of chatter about baseball before the season started unlike as in prior years. The Daily Press' baseball review talked more about the former players than the current players. Let's face it, it seems to be a down year for the PD as far as "named" players. Last year, we had Cave and Lake. Maybe to a lesser extent, Mays, Vick, Myers, Cooke, and Ritz. We wanted to see if those players were worth of the hype, and for the most part, they all were deserving. Unless you are a follower of a particular team, name one player you would go out of your way to see play this year. I'm hard pressed to name one. I would say that the season is young and there's plenty of time for players to develop "big-time" reputations and the hype that comes with it. OR perhaps, this is the year of the "team". No one team dominated by one or two "big-time" players, but made of a collection of very solid baseball players. This alone can make for some compelling baseball. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Kecoughtan is off to a strong start and should be contenders all year. Can't wait to see how they match up with Woodside and Menchville.

I'm a baseball fan, not a player fan. I had assumed that people who regularly post here were the same.

My boy plays for Hickory but I live here in Hampton and enjoy keeping track of Peninsula District baseball. Even catching a game or two a year when I'm not on the Southside.

It would be nice if someone could at least keep track of the schedules and scores on a weekly basis.
